    I enjoy all the former posts without exception, but although maybe “Not so Dramatic” I toast with a glass of rose to that one Ruth.

    Quite a catch Sheryl from your roof. I hope to see more of that from you.

    And Gregory as well with a brightly colored CHA. I check the sky every day for a CHA since it are just a bit more than two months over here that the sun is high enough to enable it to appear, but unfortunately I have not caught one yet.

    You spotted some great iridescence Keelin. Thank you about the recent CAD with my 22 degrees halo. I was truly surprised to see it this way in a CAD because the moment I spotted that one I spotted only the altostratus. Although usually maybe a rather boring cloud it has its own beauty when the sunlight shines through. Only afterwards I saw the 22 degrees halo on it and it made me doubt the altostratus because a halo in altostratus is a bit of an exception. No doubts anymore now.

    Btw: I hope you have seen the comet Neowise, Keelin? It is amazing to be able to see it with the naked eye. I had several occasions for it to see but I did not succeed to make a good picture.

    A sundog that tries to hide. There is no need for that, isn’t it?

    What does this remark about parking meters mean Michael? It seems to come out of the blue. Thinking about it I remembered a favorite cartoon: Guust Flater (very Flanders, Belgium) who has his practical jokes and conflicts about parking meters with the seriously dedicated officer Vondelaar. Here is an example of which I presume I don’t have to translate the words.

    I know, this is rather off-topic, so back to Color!  I see this mask in #827, Michael. And there is this intriguing Rhapsody In Blue by Ruth!. To quote Keelin I think we share the urge to explore what’s just over the ridge (great title and spotting as well). In my opinion it will be no surprise: more clouds!

    Sheryl, I think you can add them to your collection :) I did not even know this combination is possible, but I checked the ICA and it certainly is.

    Four nice examples Jay! The only one I m not sure of is the cumulus congestus. A congestus is high and taller than wide. Maybe it is one but I can’t tell from the picture. A safe way to classify is ‘just’ as cumulus. I have no doubts about the other three. Any other opinions?

    Ah, I see a lower segment of the 22 degrees halo. Is that right Keelin? Nice colors.

    Now is the season for noctilucent but I haven’t seen it over here yet. I saw Neowise but one must b e very lucky to spot the comet together with noctilucent. The archive helps.

    Great capture Keelin. I may be not really fond of contrails in general but when they don’t disturb a nice cloudscape I agree with you about their variation. Then they add their own enchantment to the sky. When the Crow started the first thread with contrails I could not imagine the fun with them yet. Now I do and your Minimally Tethered is a marvelous example.

    This is a really stunning timelapse, Airhead58. I can imagine this is quite an event to witness. The close up of the noctilucent waves is incredible. Thanks for sharing here!

    I am so happy you found a Sky Duster Vacuum Attachment to clean up the mess these untamable dragons made, Keelin. Ingenious and hilarious! There will be more cleaning to do I fear because this little puppy will awake a seemingly very large dragon when he is not careful enough with its tail.
